Ironically 1.400 years ago, Prophet Muhammad (the central figure they hate most) spread message protecting minority. Such message can be seen as progressive based on today's standard.
“This is a message from Muhammad, son of Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them.
Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them.
No compulsion is to be on them. Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries.
No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims’ houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God’s covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate.
No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them. If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.
Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants. No one of the nation of (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world).
The Covenant of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christian monks of Saint Catherine's Monastery.
Saint Catherine's Monastery today
1.400 years after such covenant was issued, I wonder if today Trump can say the same thing especially when there are many mosques burned in the U.S
Wonder if Trump can say :
"No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it. They are my citizen and have my secure charter against all that they hate"
Guess not.
